31Rolls-Royce Conway — The RB.80 Conway was the first by pass engine (or turbofan) to go into service in the world. Development started at Rolls Royce in the 1940s, but it was used only briefly in the late 1950s and early 1960s before other turbofan designs were… …
32Internal combustion engine — The internal combustion engine is an engine in which the combustion of a fuel (normally a fossil fuel) occurs with an oxidizer (usually air) in a combustion chamber. In an internal combustion engine, the expansion of the high temperature and high …
33Heat pump — A heat pump is a machine or device that moves heat from one location (the source ) to another location (the sink or heat sink ), using work. Most heat pump technology moves heat from a low temperature heat source to a higher temperature heat sink …
34Compressed-air energy storage — (CAES) refers to the compression of airto be used later as energy source. At utility scale, it can be stored during periods of low energy demand (off peak), for use in meeting periods of higher demand (peak load). Alternatively it can be used to… …
35Jet engine performance — This article describes how jet engine performance is estimated during the design phase. Similar techniques are used once the engine has been built and is being tested, except the performance of individual components, rather than being assumed, is …
36Avro Canada Orenda — The TR 5 Orenda was Avro Canada s first production jet engine. Similar to other early jet engines in design, like the Rolls Royce Avon or General Electric J47, the Orenda nevertheless outperformed its rivals in most ways, and the Orenda powered… …
37pneumatic device — Any of various tools and instruments that generate and use compressed air. Examples include rock drills, pavement breakers, riveters, forging presses, paint sprayers, blast cleaners, and atomizers. Compressed air power is flexible, economical,… …
